Delicious frozen custard and a business dedicated to being part of the local community!! If you live in Monroeville, you gotta love a Meadows run!! Drive thru custard and handcrafted sundaes, parfaits, milkshakes, and every other creation in existence!! Yes, the flavors may seem limited on the daily... but that's part of the fun of this business. They post the two flavors of the day on a monthly calendar so you can circle your favorites and plan ahead!! They always have vanilla and chocolate, but they hand create each flavor as you order. Want the Oreo Mint... they scoop some Oreos into the mint tub and create your flavor!! The service is always great and they always hire a lot of local youth!! Smiles. Happiness.. and ice cream!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you ever feel inclined, the inside is amazing too. Plenty of seats and very cool decor inside and out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This is my first time trying the meadows and it was delicious. Honestly, I mean, I love pretty much all ice cream custard gelato anything like that but I really enjoyed the Meadows The service was fast and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outside is really cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside was decently sized[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] black sat out front And they have so many different ways to order between face-to-face drive-through and a stand outside section as well I went when it was slow, but at any point they would answer whichever way they needed to the person who helped me explain the menu well, I just got the strawberry which was a unique flavor for that day, but I will be back to try some more flavors soon read more

One of our favorite flavors is the chocolate raspberry truffle so when I saw that on the menu, I had to stop even though we have a ton of snow on the ground. The drive-through makes it so convenient. You don't have to get out of your warm car if you go through the drive through, which is so convenient and dangerous because it makes it so easy to get your ice cream fix.l! The service was extremely fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I have been inside on previous visits, they have tables inside for seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For reference my order was $6.50 for a medium waffle cone. read more

The Meadows Original Frozen Custard - Medium Chocolate Raspberry Truffle in waffle cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

I had a really disappointing experience at Meadows in Monroeville. The ice cream tasted off -- definitely not fresh and nowhere near the quality I expected. To make things worse, the service was unfriendly. The employee who helped us, was rude and dismissive, which made the whole visit uncomfortable. I won't be coming back anytime soon. There are much better ice cream spots nearby that treat customers with respect and serve something worth the price. HONESTLY ATROCIOUS! read more

The person taking the order was pleasant. For a banana split and a sundae cup, it came up to be $16 rounded. They had a drive thru which I loved and the service was quick. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The location decor seems simple and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only complaint that I have was whatever they put on top on my ice cream was disgusting. I don't know what it was, if it was a topping or what. It looked like crushed pineapples. I should've brought it back to question it, but I was already too far. Beside that everything would've been perfect. read more

Some of the best custard I've had! Went through the drive thru and asked if they were able to just make a parfait with Just peanuts and caramel sauce. The lady at the counter was so sweet and said that they were able too! The ice cream was delicious! The staff was so friendly and everybody had a smile on their face! read more

Yes yes I love the apple cobbler ice cream situation. I love that it's hot with the vanilla on top! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Open winter and summer![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The workers were so so sweet, and our order came out fast. First time having frozen custard and honestly... i'm not sure if I can go back plain old soft serve ice cream again! It was so creamy and smooth and I deeply regret not getting a larger size. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The building itself is decorated so nicely, it has a sweet summery vibe to it that makes it an easy choice to stay in and enjoy your cold treats.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I tend to be sensitive to noises, so in my personal opinion it was a little overstimulating and I bit hard to share a conversation with the person across from you (however, it was a very hot day and business was busy). The machines in the back echo up to the front quite a bit, and there isn't much to help absorb the sound.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Other than that, I have 0 complaints! read more

The Dirty Turtle was out of this world! We stopped on our way home from vacation and this was an excellent way to wrap up our trip. The drive through line was crazy, so we went inside. The line was short and we were able to enjoy our custard at a table. read more

Frozen custard beats ice cream hands down!! It's so creamy and they have so many yummy flavors. Different special flavors every day!

10/10 Service was amazing and so fast. The little queer boy was so great and sweet. Death by Chocolate so yummy. The joy of Monroeville. I loved this place so much till my son found a penny in his ice cream. Still love the queer boy and the place though. read more

The Meadows Original Frozen Custard - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

They put like 30 cherries on my hot fudge sundae so it was kinda gross. Stems were everywhere and cherry juice

Learned of this place almost by accident, although I've passed it numerous times without even realizing it was there. It was recommended by the mother of a schoolmate of my son. Root beer milkshake. Holy cow delicious! My son really enjoyed his large waffle cone vanilla custard with sprinkles. The long line of cars in the drive thru speaks for this sweet spot. Friendly young staff, polite, quick with the order. Very reasonable prices and quite a wide selection of custard/ice cream treats to choose from. Oh yeah...we'll be back. Soon. Good stuff! read more

Love this Meadows! The drive thru line usually backs up pretty good, so I would suggest going into the store to order ice cream. There's tables indoors and in front of the shop. Their prices are competitive with other local o e cream shops. The ice cream flavor itself tastes better than other soft serve locations. I would eat Meadows I e cream over Dairy Queen any day! read more

Great custard!! They always have chocolate and vanilla and then alternate another flavor each day. I wish my custard journey and their flavor of the day were more in-sync as reverting to C or V isn't always as much fun! It is a bit messy there-the workers look like they were stomping the custard (like Lucy with the grapes). They are super busy-but... read more

All I can say is yummy and yummy best ice cream yogurt.. This is the end of 2022/11/6. Must treat me to some of The Meadows YUMMY yummy best read more

The Meadows Original Frozen Custard - The Meadows - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

The chocolate peanut butter cup frozen custard was delicious! So creamy with chunks of PB cups. I had it in a hot fudge sundae, which made it even better. I'll definitely be back! read more

If you are coming in or going out of Pittsburgh, this is a great place to stop for a quick treat. First of all, I am a big fan of custard ... and this place seems to have the recipe down. And there are a good number of flavors to choose from. I went for a vanilla (the classic in my mind) and it hit the spot. I am sure I will return. read more

Always enjoy the white raspberry chocolate truffle. Look forward to seeing it on the daily menu. Stopped in today and was disappointed. Not as much chocolate shards as in the past. Also I've noticed lately the size of the cones has shrunk. I'll give it another try when one of my favorites is on. If they continue with the smaller sizes I'll go back to my local supermarket and buy a quality ice cream that also has become expensive but the cost will still be better. read more

Ordered a vanilla custard in a cone, received it in a bowl "because it was too runny in a cone". If they knew that beforehand, they should tell customers and ask if they still wanted the item. Threw it out when I got home. read more

Great place! Lots of choices and the ice cream is outstanding. Wonderful service always. Don't miss it!

We live just up the road ... and we get Meadows at least once a month. We would get it more often but some of the flavors are a little out there for us. But everything we get is always amazing! Wish they would use the drive thru speaker system ... it would really speed them up and increase business. Anyhow, it's a must have! read more

Well I finally was able to make it out here. Located on Northern Pike near the PA turnpike exit in Monroeville the Meadows is both an ice cream and custard store. They serve 4 custards daily and alternate two each day. The standard two on the menu are vanilla and chocolate. On the day of my visit they had as a custard white raspberry truffle. Two scoops was just enough for me since it was very filling and delicious! They also have a drive through and they do fund raisers to boot. In additions to cones and cups they carry the usual ice cream fare such as Sundaes and shakes. You can even purchase quarts or pints from their daily flavors. I was looking in their see through glass and saw a beautiful cake. The lady told me it was a custard cake. It is made with two layers of vanilla custard, a layer of rich chocolate cake with a creamy fudge center. Custom made orders require 72 hour advance notice. This is a wonderful alternative to ice cream and I was fortunate to pick up a daily menu for the month of April for a return visit. I don' t get to Monroeville often but when I do this is the place I will most definitely try for more of their delicious custard. read more

This evening I was disappointed with the answer I was given. I ordered a sundae from the menu that showed 1.oo less. The manager said they couldn't change the menu board. That's disinformation on the board. I'm disappointed with them. One dollar is a big price difference. read more

Be advised if you eat at this establishment be prepared to have your food prepared in unsanitary conditions. I went there two nights ago and ordered a frozen yogurt sugar-free small in a cone. There was a teenage girl working there who took my order and told me the yogurt machine was not ready so I waited in the drive-through. While I waited I watched through the window I noticed she had no gloves on and kept scratching her face and touching the top of the cone with her hands after scratching her face. There was an older heavyset woman leaning over the counter and eating the toppings right out of the tray with no gloves on the same toppings that she would reach in and put on your yogurt. I knocked on the window and told the older women I do not want the cone and to please just put my yogurt in a cup. She then put the contaminated cone on top of my cup anyway. I threw it away and did not eat it. Yesterday I called the manager and spoke with him he said this is not been the first time this is happened but he did not say he was gonna do anything about it either. So I called the Allegheny County health inspector and filed a complaint with them for them to go out and reinspect this establishment. Please please please please for your own safety and that of your family be very careful if you decide to be a patron in this establishment. read more

We usually like the Meadows but this will be our last visit. We ordered a single scoop in a cup and this is what we got. The server said that the girl that made it accidentally put in 2 scoops and had to take one out. It looks half eaten! And it was expensive for the small amount. The server offered to make another one but he really did not see anything wrong with what he gave us. read more

The Meadows Original Frozen Custard - a hand holding a cup of ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Monroeville, Pennsylvania

The ice cream is good, but I got a cone and before I even ate it was all melted. The ice cream was barely in the cone, it's soft served but it's scooped on so it isn't very easy to eat, will not go again read more

Rob C, please wake up and give a damn about your business. I know it must be hard to hire for a small ice cream shop but can't you find some reliable Gateway students to have some customer service skills?!? The high school is right down the damn road!!! I went today and paid $25 for the equivalent of two blizzards (Oreo and snickers) and some ice cream sandwiches. They are so over blended that the Oreo looked like chocolate custard. I ordered the initially unwanted sandwiches because our "arctic swirls" looked so dismal. I understand that even a high school student could mess that up but the way we weren't greeted and made to feel as if we were insulting them by ordering is beyond me. The two older ladies looked as pathetic as having a job at an ice cream shop. It's pathetic. If that's what your life has stooped to at least be the best you can be. They were by far the rudest most disgusting pieces of trash imaginable to operate your business. I'd prefer high school students, at least they would have an excuse because they're young and naive. They'd at least put forth some effort or say hello. read more

I discovered this cozy custard on a drive in the neighborhood and was happy to find. Their yogurts are fresh and it is refreshing to get a variety of flavors throughout the month. However, on a typical Friday Meadows rewards night with my grandkids in a pint of cherry vanilla (our favorite) we noticed a long strand of hair. Unfortunately, my 4 year old granddaughter showed and threw to the floor before I could take a picture of it. In her words, 'disgusting'! Disappointed that we will have to find a reward on Friday night spot! read more

We do love our frozen custard, so since we were near this place we had to check it out. Let's not mention that it was over 90 degrees. I was surprised that there wasn't more people in here. We had a couple minutes to examine the menu which is up on the wall, not the most descriptive menu so we were asking the lady at the register questions about it. We went with a cherry gelati (custard and Italian ice together) and a turtle sundae. I liked the fact that they had sugar free and lofat options for the no extra cost. I always go with sugar free if available and it was indeed a creamy and tasty frozen custard. Not sure if I would go with the turtle again, it was super sweet. We will be back though. It was really good and they have a military discount. Ladies, they have they cutest ice cream cone mirror in the restroom! lol. read more

Not sure what the difference is between custard and regular ice cream is, but their custard is pretty good! Prices seem reasonable for the quantity you receive. I normally get the small waffle cone and it is really quite large. My dad enjoyed his strawberry milkshake. I've never had any issues at this location and it always appears to be clean inside and out. One minus is that there is but a limited selection of flavors; you have to plan ahead to get the flavor you want to try. Be sure to pick up a calendar. Enjoy! read more

Meadows custard is delicious! So creamy and wonderful! Interior is small and only a small bench to sit outside. Parking lot behind building, entrance on both sides. Drive thru. Many options for cones, frozen yogurt, dishes, sundaes, gelati and more. Moderate prices for similar places. Spent $6 for a small dish and small cone. Not as many flavors of custard as I would have thought, only 4 flavors today including chocolate and vanilla. Great place for some yummy dessert! read more

The best frozen custard I have ever had. Great flavors and fun experience. My kids want to go every week.

My favorite day of each month is Salted Caramel day! I enjoyed a hot fudge sundae made with Salted Caramel custard and it was absolutely delicious. Cam't wait for next month. read more

Any place that serves custard automatically gets a lot of stars. You can't beat the creaminess. I ordered a Medium Cookies & Cream. It had been a scorcher of a day. We were watching a baseball tournament for 14 year old boys. It was so hot that sitting in the bleachers felt like you were in a frying pan. . It was wonderful to walk into this creamery where it felt like a winter wonderland. . I could have sat there for hours. The employees were very nice. The place so extremely clean. My only disappointment was the small offering of flavors. The Cookies & Cream was smooth and creamy. It was a great frozen treat for such a hot day. I would definitely go back to try other flavors. I would also recommend it to friends. read more

I have never had a bad experience here. The employees are always on their game and attentive to customers. Every type of ice cream I have ordered here was incredible. However, I would recommend getting a small. The ice cream melts fast and the small is relatively large. Better bang for your buck here than at DQ. read more

In Buffalo, there are a ton of yogurt/custard/ice cream stands, so I was surprised that there weren't that many in the Pittsburgh area. I was happy to see The Meadows open up and was excited to try it. I have been there several times now and really enjoy it. They have fresh flavors every day along with staple flavors. My favorite is the birthday cake. A perfect level of sweetness. I wish they had flavor descriptors for some of their cutely named flavors, though. For example, I have no idea what "white house" tastes like or what makes it a "dirty" turtle. If you are going in, it is easy enough to ask, but not as easy if you are using the convenient drive through option. I like that they have a drive through. As a mother of newborn twins, it isn't easy to get into and out of places, but I can grab a treat at the drive through and enjoy it when I get home. I love that convenience factor. They always seem to be well staffed and pretty efficient in serving you. Although some of the staff seemed to not know the menu very well. But I figure that is just because they are a newer place. The one thing I wish they did was update their webpage or facebook page with what their flavors of the day are (or are going to be). Overall, a welcome addition to the eastern suburbs. read more

Ahhhh went here after eating at Dad's pub and grub....and they are super good only thing that prevents a full score is that the Greensburg location really loads down the cones...but same creamy flavorful ice cream with awesome choices which allow you to mix and match all the options that the establishment has to offer...I love the chipwich here it's two fresh baked chocolate chip cookies with meadows vanilla in between them...such a good snack for a ride home from work....love this place!!!! read more

Their flavors of ice cream are phenomenal! The arctic swirl and parfaits are excellent! Great staff too! Always recommended!
